Blogcatalog Widget Removed

-
I posted earlier about the Blogcatalog latest visitors widget which was only showing after a page refresh. Others confirmed that fact as well. So I posted on Blogcatalog's forums and received no joy, or even a reply.

Now it seems the widget is not showing at all. So until Blogcatalog can get their act together then it's been removed.

Oh, and they're annoying me with messages in my inbox about 'Expose Yourself!' I think it's one of their schemes but I ask you! Tsk, tsk.

    I mark those messages on BlogCatalog as spam -- I do that with any messages I see there that I've seen on other blogs, especially when the person leaving the message hasn't visited my blog (as shown by the widget!)

    its the sound of bloggers finally getting the exposure that they deserve. BC's sole purpose is to expose hardworking, talented bloggers who don't do the tour circuit and are working their behinds off to express themselves, and they don't get the exposure.

    BlogCatalog is going to change it. BlogCatalog will become the place where when people think blogging they think about blogcatalog. And, members of blogcatalog will be direct beneficiaries of that because we will enable bloggers to both elegantly monetize their hard work, as well as obtain far more readers and followers.

    Mark my words. It's coming sooner than you think.

    given that you keep MyBlogLog's widget on your blog, and its run by Yahoo, who has let the site go to the birds. It's amazing that you would take the advice of someone to remove blogcatalog's widget when our entire focus is on making the blogosphere more valuable for bloggers. Especially non-a list bloggers, which I assume you are.

    In the end, all the schemes come down to the quality of the blogposts. One can be feted for a good article on a Monday but after tosh for two days, readers fall away and don't tend to come back for days or weeks.

    We're only as good as our last post.

    But these messages just appear in my inbox, with no explanation of what they are. TonyB keeps sending these messages about some blog exposing themselves. I have no idea what this means and it gets annoying after one or two of the same.

    I think that Blogcatalog's latest visitors widget has been extremely useful in allowing me to discover new blogs and bloggers. I hink Steve Hayes finds it the same? However, the widget isn't working and now there are a number of messages the same on Blogcatalog with no response from those running Blogcatalog.

    As to 'A' list bloggers, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Jesus Of Nazareth by Pope Benedict XVI

Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict XVI My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was pleasantly surprised by how readable and encouraging this book is. Pope Benedict XVI has shown himself to have a fantastic understanding of the Gospels and their sources, as well he should! He brings that information along and presents it in a fresh and inspiring way. Many, many times he shows how connected the Bible is to itself and how doctrine and theology stretch consistently from Genesis to Revelation, how themes are repeated and built up and how what we have is truly inspired. So put aside any bigotry, if you have any and grab a copy! View all my reviews!

Burn A Koran Day

A few years ago 19 men hijacked a number of aircraft in US airspace and deliberately crashed them into a number of targets. There must have been a number of people working behind the scenes to enable this dreadful event. Maybe 50 people in total? From that dreadful day we have seen a wave of hatred for Islam fuelled by a desire for revenge coupled with ignorance about what Islam actually is. How many have died, have suffered because of the response of the 'West' to the events on September the 11th? On September the 11th this year pastor Terry Jones from the Dove World Outreach Centre plans for his church to hold a 'Burn A Koran Day' to send a message to 'the radical element of Islam'. His church has about 50 people in their congregation. How much hatred and desire for revenge will be ignited by his event as the message is picked up by Muslims throughout the world who will not distinguish between the views of this pastor and the 'Christian West'?
